1: And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 allH3605 Israel,H3478 indeed,H2009 I have heededH8085 your voiceH6963 in allH3605 thatH0834 you saidH0559 and have madeH4427 over youH5921 a king.H4428

2: Now,H6258 here is,H2009 the kingH4428 walkingH1980 before youH6440 and IH0589 am oldH2204 and grayheaded-H7867 and my sons [are]H1121 look,H2009 with youH0854 and IH0589 have walkedH1980 before youH6440 from my childhoodH5271 toH5704 dayH3117 this.H2088

3: Here I amH2005 WitnessH6030 beforeH5048 Yahweh,H3068 and beforeH5048 His anointed.H4899 -H0853 The oxH7794 of whomH4310 have I taken?H3947 or the donkeyH2543 of whomH4310 have I taken?H3947 orH0853 whomH4310 have I cheated?H6231 -H0853 WhomH4310 have I oppressed?H7533 or from the handH3027 of whomH4310 have I receivedH3947 [any] bribeH3724 and to blindH5956 my eyesH5869 and I will restore [it]H7725

4: And they said,H0559 notH3808 You have cheated usH6231 orH3808 oppressed usH7533 norH3808 have you takenH3947 from any handH3027 of manH0376 anything.H3972

5: And he saidH0559 to themH0413 [is] witnessH5707 YahwehH3068 and [is] witnessH5707 His anointedH4899 day,H3117 thisH2088 thatH3588 notH3808 you have foundH4672 in my hand.H3027 AnythingH3972 and they answered,H0559 [He is] witness.H5707

6: And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 the people,H5971 [it is] YahwehH3068 whoH0834 raised upH6213 -H0853 MosesH4872 andH0853 Aaron,H0175 and whoH0834 brought upH5927 -H0853 your fathersH0001 from the landH0776 of Egypt.H4714

7: Now thereforeH6258 stand still,H3320 that I may reasonH8199 with youH0854 beforeH6440 YahwehH3069 -H0853 concerning allH3605 the righteous acts ofH6666 YahwehH3069 whichH0834 He didH6213 to youH0854 andH0854 your fathers.H0001

8: WhenH0834 had goneH0935 JacobH3290 into Egypt,H4714 and cried outH2199 your fathersH0001 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 then sentH7971 YahwehH3068 -H0853 MosesH4872 andH0853 Aaron,H0175 and who broughtH3318 -H0853 your fathersH0001 out of EgyptH4714 and made them dwellH3427 in placeH4725 this.H2088

9: And when they forgotH7911 -H0853 YahwehH3068 their God,H0430 and He soldH4376 themH0853 into the handH3027 of Sisera,H5516 commanderH8269 of the armyH6635 of Hazor,H2674 and into the handH3027 of the Philistines,H6430 and into the handH3027 of the kingH4428 of Moab,H4124 and they foughtH3898

10: And they cried outH2199 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and said,H0559 we have sinned,H2398 becauseH3588 we have forsakenH5800 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and servedH5647 -H0853 the BaalsH1168 andH0853 Ashtoreths-H6252 but nowH6258 deliver usH5337 from the handH3027 of our enemies,H0341 and we will serve You.H5647

11: And sentH7971 YahwehH3068 -H0853 Jerubbaal,H3378 andH0853 Bedan,H0917 andH0853 Jephthah,H3316 andH0853 Samuel,H8050 and deliveredH5337 youH0853 out of the handH3027 of your enemiesH0341 on every side,H5439 and you dweltH3427 in safety.H0983

12: And when you sawH7200 thatH3588 NahashH5176 kingH4428 of theH1121 AmmonitesH5983 cameH0935 against youH5921 and you saidH0559 No-H3808 butH3588 a kingH4428 shall reignH4427 over usH5921 when YahwehH3068 your GodH0430 [was] your king.H4428

13: Now thereforeH6258 here isH2009 the kingH4428 whomH0834 you have chosen,H0977 [and] whomH0834 you have desired!H7592 and take note,H2009 has setH5414 YahwehH3068 over youH5921 a king.H4428

14: IfH0518 you fearH3372 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and serveH5647 HimH0853 and obeyH8085 His voice,H6963 and notH3808 do rebelH4784 againstH0854 the commandmentH6310 of Yahweh,H3068 then will continueH1961 bothH1571 youH0859 andH1571 the kingH4428 whoH0834 reignsH4427 over youH5921 followingH0310 YahwehH3068 your God.H0430

15: And However ifH0518 notH3808 you do obeyH8085 the voiceH6963 of Yahweh,H3068 but rebel againstH4784 againstH0854 the commandmentH6310 of Yahweh,H3068 then will beH1961 the handH3027 of YahwehH3068 and as [it was] against your fathers.H0001

16: ThereforeH1571 nowH6258 standH3320 and seeH7200 -H0853 thing,H1697 greatH1419 thisH2088 whichH0834 YahwehH3068 will doH6213 before your eyes.H5869

17: [Is] notH3808 the harvestH7105 wheatH2406 today?H3117 I will callH7121 toH0413 Yahweh,H3068 and He will sendH5414 thunderH6963 and rain-H4306 that you may perceiveH3045 and seeH7200 thatH3588 your wickedness [is]H7451 great,H7227 whichH0834 you have doneH6213 in the sightH5869 of Yahweh,H3068 in askingH7592 a king.H4428

18: So calledH7121 SamuelH8050 toH0413 Yahweh-H3068 and sentH5414 YahwehH3068 thunderH6963 and rainH4306 day-H3117 thatH1931 and fearedH3372 allH3605 the peopleH5971 greatlyH3966 -H0853 YahwehH3068 andH0853 Samuel.H8050

19: And saidH0559 allH3605 the peopleH5971 toH0413 Samuel,H8050 PrayH6419 forH1157 your servantsH5650 toH0413 YahwehH3068 your God,H0430 that not-H0408 we may dieH4191 forH3588 we have addedH3254 toH5921 allH3605 our sinsH2403 the evil,H7451 of askingH7592 a king.H4428

20: And saidH0559 SamuelH8050 toH0413 the people,H5971 not-H0408 do fearH3372 YouH0859 have doneH6213 -H0853 allH3605 wickedness-H7451 thisH2063 yetH0389 notH0408 do turn asideH5493 from followingH0310 Yahweh,H3068 but serveH5647 -H0853 YahwehH3068 with allH3605 your heart-H3824

21: and notH3808 do turn asideH5493 for [then you would go]H3588 afterH0310 empty thingsH8414 whichH0834 cannotH3808 profitH3276 orH3808 deliver-H5337 forH3588 nothingH8414 they [are].H1992

22: ForH3588 notH3808 will forsakeH5203 YahwehH3068 -H0853 His peopleH5971 for sake-H5668 of His nameH8034 greatH1419 becauseH3588 it has pleasedH2974 YahwehH3068 to makeH6213 youH0853 people.H5971

23: MoreoverH1571 as for me,H0595 far be it from meH2486 should sinH2398 against YahwehH3068 in ceasingH2308 to prayH6419 for youH1157 but I will teachH3384 youH0853 wayH1870 the goodH2896 and the right.H3477

24: OnlyH0389 fearH3372 -H0853 Yahweh,H3068 and serveH5647 HimH0853 in truthH0571 with allH3605 your heart-H3824 forH3588 considerH7200 -H0853 whatH0834 great things He has doneH1431 for you.H5973

25: But ifH0518 stillH7489 you do wickedly,H7489 bothH1571 youH0859 andH1571 your king.H4428 You shall be swept away,H5595
